As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I left work at 5pm, however, the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door, a wave of water greeted me. Thank God the kids weren’t with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. ‎ At first we tried to push on through. We didn’t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me ‎ most was how much I missed being part of a community (社区). We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours, and I’d never thought how much I’d miss that. ‎ Although our situation was very hard, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought, “We didn’t have a straw hut (茅草房) that was swept away, and our house is still standing. We’re lucky.”‎ We moved back home in August. With December coming, there’s still reconstruction work to be done, so it’s difficult to prepare for Christmas. But I can’t wait—I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year, I won’t need any gifts—living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replacing things, there’s really no rush—we have our home back, and that’s the main thing.‎ ‎4. The underlined word “amiss” in the first paragraph means　　　.‎ A. wrong B. missing C. right D. difficult ‎5. Why does the author say that they were lucky in the third paragraph?‎ A. Because they were able to move to a new place.‎ B. Because many other places were flooded.‎ C. Because their straw hut was not swept away.‎ D. Because some others suffered even more.‎ ‎6. What does the author mainly want to express by telling her story?‎ A. She valued human feelings more than before.‎ B. She realized she almost didn’t need possessions.‎ C. She found Christmas gifts no longer badly needed.‎ D. She thought her own home was the most important.‎ C For top students from low-income families, applying to colleges is particularly difficult. One approach makes this whole process easier. Provide an adviser for them.‎ That’s the idea behind CollegePoint, a program to help gifted students go to schools that match their intelligence. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT, SAT or ACT—and they score in the 90th percentile, and their families make less than $ 80, 000 a year,‎ ‎ they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen, guide and answer students’ questions.‎ Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don’t think they have what it takes to get in and because many don’t even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin, the first in his family to apply to college, thinking about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice: Skidmore College in New York.‎ Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what CollegePoint advisers do. Nakhle, an adviser in North Carolina, is working with Hensley, an Ohio high school senior who can’t get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letters, which made her decision much clearer. Finally, the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing. Staying in-state wasn’t her first choice, but it was the best option for her.‎ ‎7. What is the second paragraph mainly about?‎ A. How CollegePoint works. B. The history of CollegePoint.‎ C. Ways to apply for a free adviser. D. The challenge of choosing colleges.‎ ‎8. What prevents low-income students from attending proper colleges?‎ A. Thinking highly of their abilities. B. Knowing little about colleges.‎ C. Lack of enough learning experience. D. Failure to pass the entrance exam.‎ ‎9. Why did Hensley finally choose the Ohio State University?‎ A. She didn't want to stay far from home. B. Her favorite major was provided there.‎ C. She would show her talents to the full. D. The university met her financial needs.‎ ‎10. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Steps for Students to Choose Suitable Colleges B. CollegePoint—How to Be a Financial Adviser C. Advisers Helping College Students to Score High D. CollegePoint—Helping Students Select Ideal Colleges Ⅱ. 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ On a remote island in Norway, around 1,000 kilometers from the North Pole, sits the Svalbard Global Seed Vault (保险库). ___11___ But deep inside, there are hundreds of thousands of seed samples (样本). According to the most recent count, this vault holds 890,000 samples of seeds from all around the world!‎ ‎___12___ There are over 1,000 seed banks like that around the world.
